Pro tip: if your lightener swells too much add a few drops of tap water to your bleach mixture. You’ll never have bleed marks and swelling again

[@l.havvke587]

my hairdresser has always done me the fan technique. I often tie my hair back and you could see the light colored stripes with a strong unnatural contrast. during the lock down I discovered the mowhawk technique, I did the bleaching by myself and the result is much more natural. I make very thin sections and I am fine!

[@Missquichante]

Did you do a shadow roots?

[@l.havvke587]

@@Missquichante My hairdresser didn't know what a shadow roots is ;-) and the stripes were over the entire length of hairs... Now I'm obviously doing shadow roots by myself and the result is sooo natural and blended.

@@srky4346 I have a 6-7 base, so I used lightner powder (not the strongest, up to 6 levels) + 30 vol for 30min with aluminium foils for additional heat. The hairs turn out so fair and not yellow or orange.

[@imsodone4309]

Thank you for the education. We didn’t even learn how to do foils 35 years ago when I went to school. We pulled hair though a cap. This is so much better. I’ve seen this done at hair shows, but you did a really good job explaining the placement of the foils for the desired effects. Great job. I’ll have to get a mannequin to practice on.lol

[@KenraProfessional]

So glad to hear you found this video helpful! ☺️

[@anopinion3469]

Love this comment. The caps are still sold at sally's... i'm learning everything on youtube, just so I can do my own hair, so I do have some caps, and ready to try foils on my own head, once again. I just have a blonde, & would like some dimension, no bleeding, and something easy enough to do on my own head.

[@mgabrielle_]

I’m currently at beauty school and we have to learn with a cap as well but we will also see foils.

[@debimccann6524]

Yes I love watching after 35 years relaxing! Lol. I do my own root/ highlight lowlight and haircut:). Wow my arms get tired !!

[@sandistyles9890]

Same here! It’s never been explained to me. I’m basically self taught

[@starmane8840]

I’m glad you said you shadow rooted them because every time I’ve tried the fan technique or any horizontal highlights even if they are super fine weaves and sections it looks crazy without a shadow root.

[@tinasparkles2434]

[@KenraProfessional]

[@SalemSphynx]

I like these techniques but personally always do the opposite-foiling back to front (crown to front hairline) in mohawk sections & go from bottom to top on sides so once foils are in they stay put to prevent bleeding😁

[@morganrichards1990]

Lol I do the same thing. I’ll get bleeders if I move them around. But I do stacked mostly in the Mohawk

[@melodyvoss]

My hairdressers always leave me with spots in my (middle of the back) long hair. They always blame me! From saying I moved around, or My hair is just too long. I shouldn't end up with orange bands at the top of my hair that have to be fixed afterwards. A root smudge last time basically brought the root line back down to where I looked like I needed my hair foiled the same day I got my hair foiled. And not to mention...I wear my hair in a ponytail everyday & every highlight section looked like extention tracks at the root. How can I just get the correct placement for a ponytail/bun?

[@TheMkgirl77]

@@morganrichards1990 I think that happens because it’s not feathered up the section. I normally start the most saturation at the midshaft then lightly brush up. This will keep it from bleeding.

[@TheMkgirl77]

@@melodyvoss I definitely think it’s more improper saturation on the stylist part and as a stylist I will totally admit that.

[@morganrichards1990]

@@TheMkgirl77 I try to get close to the scalp but can’t, and it never stays tight to the section. I absolutely hate doing foils lol but can do a good HL with stacked on the mowhawk

[@3218lb]

You were fantastic! I really enjoyed this video, I was super excited, it was a great idea to show the two techniques, until you shadowed the root! I feel like it softened the result down to the point where it was more of a client visual end result, not an educational visual result! You did not need to do that! I wanted and needed to see the raw highlights results, so I could truly see the way the highlights looked and fell! Not every client wants shadow roots, even if it is the trend right now it will go out of fashion but these applications will not. A clean, raw result would have REALLY helped the professionals in an educational way. This is just a thought for next time, dry the the hair and let us see the raw highlights, then shadow root and let us see that. Thank you for your video

[@ginahoff45]

I get the feeling that the instructor is partial to the fan placement judging by the finished results😉 (IMO) The mannequin hair, with the "fan" placement, looks more curled, less frizzy and more finished. The mannequin hair with the "Mohawk" placement, still looks nice but not as styled. Now that I've seen the fan placement, I'm interested to see it on a real person😍. Love the tutorial! Also love the fact that she did this on two different mannequins and not just one side or the other. Very easy to understand and I like how she told the benefits of each placement and when you would use these. Bonus: her voice is not overly animated so I was able to listen without having to pause. Some voices grate on my nerves, if that makes sense. ❤

[@cristinfountain5501]

If you do the fan placement on top in the mohawk, how would you place the foils on the sides and back of the head?

[@danielleselina6365]

I like both results but really love that fan I like the contrast it provides and the regrowth always looks less obvious. I think to get that overall uniform yet dimensional lighening the Mohawk achieves that and the fan gives more punchy bright contrasted result that just speaks to me. I’ll be sending this video to my stylist so she can see what I’ve been trying to convey as a non stylist. Im almost solid bleach, with a few dimensional level 8/9 throughout to tone down the platinum I tiny bit but with massive regrowth right now. With the fan highlight and some filler lowlight on the mid to ends I think I could end up with a perfect solution to full bleach.

Putting an extra layer in between is a good tip I will remember for next time. Why did you do the whole head? I am still learning this stuff

[@KenraProfessional]

Hi, David! Thanks for the love! How many foils you do and what areas you cover is entirely up to you and the client in the consultation. Oftentimes, a partial highlight will cover all of the major areas and this is enough. Other times, clients may want to do full highlights or want more of an overall blonde effect. Just make sure that you charge appropriately for the services and the time it takes for you to complete them. We hope this helps!

Great video! Helps alot. Im just still a little bit clueless about the back of the head 🤔

[@KenraProfessional]

Hi! You are able to use any combination of foiling methods, techniques, and angles on the sides and back of the head using either of these methods. Because the mohawk and fan cover recession to recession, they essentially cover the entire head when the hair falls. When doing a horizontal weave in the mohawk section technique, it may be easiest and most consistent to continue doing that down the back as far as you would prefer. Hope this helps!
